Great, funny, entertaining movie for the family with older kids.

Funny and positive messages -- Ellen Page character is quirky but works through her issues with her parents. A wonderful movie. I plan to take my 11 year old daughter, now that I saw it with another adult.

A good girl-empowerment movie appropriate for teens and tweens. While there is a bit of sexual content and drinking, those events aren't glamorized. (The main character regrets having sex with someone she didn't know well enough, and the underaged drinking gets the characters in a lot of trouble.)

I myself was amused, but not overly-engaged by this one. The derby stuff is neat, but the story is pretty rote. This would be appropriate for older teens, and does have an underlying positive message for girls regarding being true to yourself.

One of the best movies in the entire universe!!!!! The message is to be your own hero.

Beautiful, but rough movie. Used to be my favorite until Sherlock Holmes came around. Sure, it may seem a little violent (which it is), sexually inappropriate (to some extent, it is) and full of swearing (too true). But there are some positive messages in there too.

Loved it, but I do think you should be 13 to watch it cuz its got alittle bit of stuff in it some kids can watch enless the have seen worse movies then ... why not? theyll learn about this stuff soon enough why not now its not the biggest deal of things you would care about. so great movie, nice message.

I LOVED this movie soooo much but there is a lot of bad language that many kids younger than twelve shouldn't be used or even known

I had no idea what to expect, but I liked it a lot. I think a mature teenager (especially one in public school) would be able to handle everything the movie threw at them. No graphic sex, minimal if any blood, and language that is probably no worse than what the kids see written on the bathroom stalls. The main character lies to her parents, but faces the consequences. Her friend drinks (Bliss doesn't) and gets arrested for it. Bliss gives her virginity to a guy she thinks she knows and loves, and he cheats on her and doesn't call her afterwards. All very realistic things teens do, and all very realistic consequences. We were a little embarrassed by some of the sexual content, but there was nothing graphic, and it was mostly because it was unexpected. It wasn't a stereotypical sports film, and I absolutely loved that. There were several pleasant surprises that kept me pulled into the movie. It felt... realistic in a good way, much like Juno. I think a world-savvy teen will be fine watching it, and my aunt swears it was perfectly appropriate to her two young girls, who probably were too young to get most of the jokes and drug scenes. Great movie.
